About the Guest:

In the early days of her business, Jessica Hoch set out to create beautiful bracelets adorned with peace signs and Buddha heads, believing their charm alone would attract buyers. But for three years, not a single piece sold. Frustrated but undeterred, Jessica repurposed the beads and listened to her intuition. It became clear to her that jewelry needed to be more than just pretty—it had to carry meaning. From that insight, she transformed her craft, ensuring that every piece she creates now includes a unique story and intention, connecting deeply with those who wear them.
